Hey Jenny! It is totally Insane!! Last night I talked to one of my loan officers on the phone(Who I work with processing his loan) and he told he was about to quit--that they are screwing him now on his commission. And the way they treat him, etc.
See the company hired this new HR/operations Manager, and then a guy who is over all the Loan officers..and ever since them two came onboard soooo Much has changed.

What I am pissed off about is that when we were just the mortgage co. (before merging into this other company) My boss promissed me the moon & stars... saying that when we move to this other company we are ALL going to make more money, and now they are taking it away.

My old Boss (who is now co-owner w/ 3 others) is going to meet with me this afternoon. I told him how upset I am and he said we will talk this afternoon.

On A GOOD NOTE... I spoke w/ another Loan Officer last night on the phone, who has been here for 6 years like me.. and Hes been working on the side with another man who owns a Mortgage company..and hes about to go work for him, and Quit here b/c of all the shit!! (and hes been friends w/ one of my bosses since he was 6yrs. old...soo that tells you that things are fucked up here)..anyway..he wants me to meet with this man tomorrow and maybe I am going with him.
This man has been in the mortgage business for 20 yrs..and he doesn't have a processor.. and hes doing all of his loans on his own and needs help bad.... SOOO I may take this chance..
I'm scared, but Like Pat (my loan officer) told me, Life is about taking chances!!

I Believe in the Impossible!!!

How did you know that's what I always do when I leave a company.

Well looks like you have some great prospects. And have the attention of your boss to. So think prositive and see what you can get.

They say it takes 2 yrs for a dog to be about there full size.

I think the liptigen would help but if your trying to save money it can wait ( I waited almost a month as well), just keep your eating right and you'll keep doing awesome.

And shut up about your legs, you have great legs.

Matt works at an oilfield company as a machinist. (CNC Machinist is his title) He does good when they work overtime, but thats not all the time!

And thanks sweetie!!

Darren is the same way, he makes ok money, not enough to live in Sacramento on his own, he lives with a buddy in a HUGE house right now, but when he works over time it is good money, but right now, tell me if this isn't nuts, working 5 ten hour days and then maybe a 8-10 hour shift this weekend, and this is not an uncommon work week for him. He is a broker at E-trade.

it is scary changing jobs ... it's hard to think about leaving the security of a job, but sometimes it can be a blessing in disguise!

At the very least, you could meet with these people and listen to what they got to say and then decide from there. I'd check with the labour laws to see if they can cut your pay that much without notice. Going from $4000 after taxes to 2500 before taxes is like a BIG cut.

OMG Stacey! That completely sucks!! But you are doing the right thing. Shorty is right, kill them with kindness in case you need a good recommendation, don't burn any bridges, then get the heck out of there as soon as you can! It is not worth it to be working somewhere that does not appreciate you, that is why I left my old company to be a stay at home mom for now.

BTW the company I used to work for did manufacturing and I hired CNC machinists all the time! I would have never known what one did before now.

Yea I do have a few good prospects! (one HUGE one)

Thank you about my legs..but ummm. yea right..hehe!!

Stacey

NT- Your right, thats what my mom is checking on..to see if it is allowed for them to do this to me.

It will be hard to change jobs..but I do believe its TIME!

I Believe in the Impossible!!!

Stacey

Thats too cool that you know what a CNC machinist is.. Matt knows sooo much about machines- its crazy!

Yep it really really does suck!
I'm meeting with my boss at 1pm..but I doubt He will tell me anything I want to hear!

I Believe in the Impossible!!!

Let's see, 1:00 your time, that's 11:00 my time. I'll be thinking about you then and sending lots of good thoughts your way.

Well, girl??? What happened at that mtg with your boss???

There are alot of resources in Houston to help you find a job. I'll find the internet sites and post them for you. I'll be glad to help you search too. You just need to email me with the specifics about what you know how to do in order to pull up good prospects.

Unfortunately, I think it is totally legal for them to cut your pay. They are probably doing it to give someone else more $ to stay and they know if they lay you off they'll have to pay unemployment.

Hickerchick, Your so sweet to think of me at that time!! Thanks girlie!

Butterfly.. Ya houston does have a ton of ways to look for jobs. I am going to start this weekend on my moms computer, and in the newspaper.
Your exactly right about them cutting my pay to pay someone more. They hired another processor and had to give her a salary.

At the meeting yesterday w/ my boss he explained to me why they did it. And he told me that he voted not to do it to me. But he was out voted by the other 3. The main reason they did it is b/c I was making more money than the Accountant here, and some others. My boss told me that he thinks I deserve making what I did.. and thats why He paid it to me. But now that we merged from the small the mortgage company we were, to this big private banking place everything is changing and unfortunatley that included my pay. Because according to Tina, the HR lady... I'm making more than other people with my job in the business. But thats Crap. I have been here for 6 years..but that didn't matter Mike said. He fought for me, and I believe him. He said that he would walk out the door right now, and start up that small mortgage company again..but he can't because he has $400,000 invested in this company.. That he gave the head man. SUCKS. Anyway... he told me that it will make him sooo sick if I quit because he has watched me grow up and we are friends, but he DID say that if He were me.. he would stay here, learn as much as I can from the HR/operations manager about processing loans, and everything she will teach me...and then quit in 3-4 months and go somewhere that will Pay me what I deserve. Or that maybe she will match what another co. would pay.

This is just really bad. I Feel like all my hard work here has gone down the drain. Although my boss said it had NOTHING to do with ME, personally, just that I was making too much money for what I do....according to Tina (Hr Lady) NOT according to Him, or the lady who I assist! WHATEVER.

I have been sooo depressed since this happend. I am crying all the time at home and just soooo frustrated!!!!!

I Believe in the Impossible!!!

Stacey

OHHH and to Top things off... Yesterday Matt found out that hes going back to the night shift (2pm-10pm) !!!! SOOO PISSED! Starting Monday!

just waiting for something else to happen.

I am so sorry to hear all this, but listen to your old boss, learn as much as you can and take clients with and find a new and better job with an even better company. Yes you may be friends with your old boss but you have to watch out for yourself and your family and your best interest. You will be ok, and I am so sorry about Matt. That is awful, cross your fingers and that will be the last bit of bad news.

Also did Pile' squats- 4 sets of 20 holding 2 12lb. dumbbells
calf raises w/ weights at shoulders - 3 sets of 25
